Tom: Em
C G
There's a break in the fence between the sixth and seventh tree
C G
Just wide enough to fit an SU- V
C G
You can't see it from the river road, it's hidden by the leaves
Am D
But I'll show you if you promise that you won't say anything
C G
Take it easy goin' up, spinnin' tires will get you stuck
C G
We'll be right back down at the bottom of the levee
C G
Take it even easier goin' down that grass stays muddy all year round
C G
But get goin' fast at the path and keep it steady
Bridge
Am D
I tell my parents we were goin' to the movies, yeah
Am D
The movie in the middle of the woods
Chorus
G
And we were screamin' down the river road
Em Am D
Smilin' at the fadin' city lights in my rear view
G F#m
Lookin' for the break in the fence
Em D C D
That a few of my friends and I took a handsaw to
G B Em D Am
We had all the right in- gredients for doin' something new
G Am
Drank some brews had a great time
D G
Marinatin' in that sweet, sweet southern moon
[Instrumental]
Em Am D G F#m Em D C C
G Em Am D
She was pristine, I was fifteen, nothing to lose
G Em Am D
But my vir- ginity and I did right there under that mag- nolia tree
G Em Am D G
And I don't re- member any- thing, I re- member how she felt
Em Am D
Lord, I re- member every- thing, I remember it oh so well
Bridge
Am D
And I see her now runnin' barefoot down the driveway
Am D
Jumpin' in my front seat in those faded old PJ's
Chorus
G
We were screamin' down the river road
Em Am D
Smilin' at the fadin' city lights in my rear view
G F#m Em
Lookin' for the place she feels safe, not a soul around
D C D
lay a little blanket down... woo woo woo
G B Em D Am
We had all the right in- gredients for doin' something new
G Am
Made my move revved her upright
D G
Marinatin' in that sweet, sweet southern moon
[Instrumental]
Em Am D G F#m Em D C C
G Em
Haven't been here in a few years
Am D G Em
So, I brought a- long this old gui- tar and a few beers
Am D
Guess I had a feelin'
Am D
I'd write a song, sittin' here I can hear that river echo
Am D
With the memories I'm glad I have, I will never let go of
Chorus
G
Screamin' down the river road
Em Am D
Smilin' at the fadin' city lights in my rear view
G F#m
Looking for the break in the fence
Em D C D
That a few of my friends and I took a handsaw to
G B Em D Am
We had all the right in- gradients for doin' something new
G Am
Drank some brews, had a great time
D
Marinatin' in that sweet, sweet summer
G Am D
Smokin' joints down by the river, stoned and laughin' under
G Am
You're in my heart; you are a part of me
D G
You sweet, sweet southern moon
[Interlude]
Em Am
Yeah, yeah yea yeah D Yea, yeah yea yeah
